WORLD WORLDWIDE US USA - New York NY - New York NYC - THE CITY SCOOP - Inside the Taxi Clubhouse.

Today's SCOOP is brought to you by our members.

Dear New Yorkers,

At the Taxi Clubhouse in Chelsea, the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission-licensed drivers can take a break to kneel in prayer, get in some rounds at the punching bag or eat a meal. But most importantly, they can take care of a basic human need: going to the bathroom.

With 178,000 TLC-licensed motorists across the city — but only 112 relief stands — the clubhouse is a much needed pit stop, and there are plans to open two more in yet to be determined locations. 

And City Councilmember Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) is calling on billion-dollar app companies Uber and Lyft to provide similar rest stops for their 80,000 drivers.

“It shouldn’t be this rare — or require such a fight — for workers to be treated with dignity,” he told THE CITY.

Don’t fret, all three major mayoral candidates have enough campaign funds to make it to the end of the race. If you’re curious to find out who’s spending big money in New York City’s other local races, we got you covered.

Our Other Top Stories

  • Bernard Chow, a Queens City Council candidate participating in the city’s public matching funds program, has spent $12,000 from campaign coffers at restaurants and more than $2,500 on gas, a bill that would fuel some 21,000 driving miles. While some food and travel expenses are permitted under the program, any expense “made to defray the normal living expenses” of a candidate or family member is barred.
